The man's shout just now that it was his instigation really scared him, but he, Fu Ye, was not a child, and this little false accusation could not scare him. He stepped forward and took a closer look at the assassin's bow and arrow, then looked at the man carefully before turning back to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there are Jin army marks on the bows and arrows of these two men, but these marks were added later and cannot be relied upon. I do not know these two men and they are not my men. I also believe that there is no one in my Jin army who dares to do such a treasonous act. Your Majesty, please understand!"

"Well, I believe the general."

The emperor smiled and said to him, and then said to the assassin kneeling below: "You are really bold. You killed my beloved concubine and dared to frame General Fu."

"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this? Tell me the real culprit and I'll spare your life!"

"I, I really am..."

Perhaps the development of the matter was beyond the assassin's expectations, and he suddenly became a little panicked.

The assassin was really confused. It had been agreed that he would be arrested first and say that it was Fu Ye who ordered it. Then there would be some chaos below and he would be detained first and then dealt with and investigated after the trial.

However, at that time, the person in charge of the court was no longer known. At that time, he...

As long as it succeeds, he can almost escape.

However, I didn’t expect that the emperor trusted Fu Ye so much.

But why does the emperor trust Fu Ye so much?

Doesn’t our emperor never trust anyone?

This is different from what we agreed, but what should we do now?

Bite Fu Ye? But he said he didn't know him, and the emperor didn't believe it. Is there any point in continuing to talk like this?

The most important thing is that he is really not Fu Ye's man. If this is a hostage-taking, it doesn't make sense. How could this happen?

Fortunately, at least the mission of getting rid of Concubine Qin was completed, otherwise...

"Hurry up and speak!" the sergeant next to him shouted again.

The assassin lowered his head and thought for a while. There was no other way now. Anyway, Qin Fei and the others had been killed. This way, the mission was completed. Then, his family would be fine. He could die. They were originally death warriors, so...

He raised his head, gritted his teeth, and was about to speak...

"Don't say anything to me. You are General Fu's men. Do you think I don't know who you belong to?" The emperor spoke first.

The assassin stood there in a daze. At the same time, the emperor's words also frightened the court ministers below.

"Your Majesty? You mean, this..."

"Your Majesty! Do you know?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Who is it! Who is so bold..."

The court officials immediately expressed their opinions. At this time, the Queen Mother had walked out from the curtain at the back and stood in front of the altar.

She first glanced at Concubine Qin who was still lying on the ground, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her chin again.

Yes, she killed her, she finally killed this woman, the woman who gave her nightmares every night, the first woman who brought shame to her in her life, and the woman she least wanted to see and was most afraid to see.

Now that she is dead, Queen Mother Li has raised her head again.

Yes, she killed the woman, and now, no one can threaten her.

She let out a long breath, how great!

The Queen Mother slowly raised her head and glanced at Yelu Zhong who was still standing on the altar. She couldn't help but sneer at this two-faced bastard. Today, she would let this beast know who is the real master of this country. This court originally belonged to their Li family, and the Yelu family has always been a thief.

"From what the emperor said, the emperor knows who is the mastermind behind this incident, right?"

The Queen Mother asked in a noble and majestic voice.

"Queen Mother..."

Although the emperor did not come down from the stage, he still raised his hand and saluted the empress dowager. At the same time, the ministers below also saluted the empress dowager who had not appeared for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you are asking the right person."

The Emperor waited until all the formalities were completed before he began to respond to Empress Dowager Li in a calm and collected manner.

"I actually know who ordered this assassin, and I also know that their target is Concubine Qin!"

"Ah! What..."

"What's going on?"

"Yes, how could the emperor know?"

"Who is it? Who is so bold?"

It's messy again...

"Alright!" Empress Dowager Li loudly rebuked the chaotic crowd below.

"You are so flustered and talking nonsense. Look at yourselves. How can you behave like the great Ming Dynasty? Shut up!"

People immediately quieted down.

Empress Dowager Li once ruled the country. Although it has been a long time, her majesty is still there.

Everyone quickly found their own seats and stood still. Now everyone could see that something big was going to happen today.

"Since Your Majesty knows who the mastermind is, why not tell us so that we can know who is so bold as to do this."

The Queen Mother calmly turned and spoke to the Emperor.

"Yes, in this Ming Dynasty, in this world, who else can be so bold as to assassinate my beloved concubine in such an occasion?"

The emperor also looked at the empress dowager in the audience and spoke calmly.

The audience was silent at this moment. People had already understood what was going on. Yes, who else in the world could have such courage?

"Then the emperor should ask again, ask why? Why is there someone so bold? Assassinating concubines in the harem, isn't this very strange? With such means and such courage, the one who should be assassinated is the emperor, not me, the queen mother. Why would you kill a shameless and lowly woman?"

When the Queen Mother said this, the court officials below exclaimed in surprise.

Oh my God! What are you saying? Concubine Qin is the emperor's favorite woman now, but the queen mother actually said this about her...

This, this is going to be a huge uproar!

"… Queen Mother, where did you get this from?"

The emperor's face also began to look bad. He already knew the queen mother's move and was prepared, but he didn't expect the queen mother to be so aggressive right from the start, and his momentum was suppressed instead.

"Where should I start? I should start with you, a disobedient, unfilial, cruel, inhuman, and incompetent beast!"

The Queen Mother raised her voice once again, pointed her finger at the Emperor on the stage and shouted.

"you!……"

The emperor obviously didn't expect that the empress dowager would tear her hostility right away. Isn't this a move that leaves no way out?

What is this going to be? Will I die if I fail?

No, the Queen Mother would not do this without absolute certainty, so...

Could it be that the Queen Mother has a backup plan that she doesn't know about?

But, how is it possible?

"Left Prime Minister, announce the Emperor's decree!"

The Queen Mother ignored the Emperor on the stage, whose face had turned pale with anger, and turned around and spoke loudly.

"Yes!" The Left Prime Minister walked out respectfully, holding an imperial edict high in his hand.

"I respect the Empress Dowager's order. I respect the Empress Dowager Li. I kneel down and kowtow to the heavens and accuse myself of my crime. I was deceived and mistakenly accepted the son into the court. He killed the royal family and brought chaos to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I also caused the Ming Dynasty to be without a successor for many years. Now, I, the guilty minister, take off my hairpin and plead guilty. I am willing to set an example and put things right. From now on, I will no longer recognize Yelu Chong as Li's son and demote the direct line. I decree this!"

As soon as the imperial decree was announced, there was an uproar in the audience...
